tige as Luck Symbol.
Special to The Times.
LAWRENCEBURG, Ind., Nov. 6.
Notwithstanding the fact that many
people believe a black cat Is the
symbol of good luck, the death here
of Frederick W. Wessler proves the
rule does not always hold gooff.
Mr. Wessler had been ill for sev
eral months and objected to the noc
turnal concerts given nightly on the
back porch of bis borne by his old
black cat.
The animal paid little heed to re
monstrances of the gentler sort and,
being a creature of tenacious pur
poses, still insisted on puncturing
the ambient air with his nightly
serenade.
The result was that when Mr.
Wessler went out to give a vicious
kick at the animal, he lost his bal
ance and fell from the porch to a ce
ment walk, a distance of five feet,
and broke his neck.
He died before a physician could
be sumomned. The cat was unin
jured.
Mr. Wessler had been engaged in
the coal business In this city for
neatly sixty years.
He is survived by two sons and
three daughters.

TO ASK CHANGE
IN CITY BUYING
Purchasing Agent Ritter Will
Ask New Law.
Discussing pians of bis department fol
the coming year, Dwight S. Ritter, city
purchasing agent, today announced be
i will seek legislation from tbe next Gen
eral Assembly to change tbe city pur
chasing system so that he can buy
standard articles in large quantities and
issue vouchers for payment thereof di
rect, in lieu of the present plan of buy* j
lug in lots requisitioned by department
heads and paying by vouchers Issued by i
these officials.
Corporation Counsel Samuel Ashby is
understood to oppose such a change on
the ground that too much power would
be placed in the hnnds of the purchasing
agent, but Mr. Ritter says in case the
legal department will not draw and have
Introduced the legislation' necessary to
bring it about be will seek to have It
prepared and introduced otherwise.
WAREHOUSE
NECESSARY.
With the instalatlion of such central
ization of city buying a warehouse with
from 15,000 to 20,000 square feet of floor
space would become necessary. Mr. Rit
ter s4id. This could be built as part of
the municipal yards, proposed to be
erected at Kentucky avenue and Drover
street.
*‘Jf It were possible to buy standard
articles used by the various departments
in quantities large enough we could ef
fect a very material Baring to the city,"
said Mr. Ritter. “The departments could
! draw from the warehouse as the need
arose and pay back the purchasing
agepfs funds accordingly.
"An illustration of the need of such a
system, which is only followed by most
private business institutions, is con
tained in an incident which occurred yes
terday. We bad an opportunity to buy a
lot of brooms, $2 per dozen under the
market price, which would have been a
saving of 20 per cent’, but we could
not take advantage of it because we had
no place to store a large shipment.
FARTER HANDLING
TO SAVE DISCOUNTS.
"In addition to getting better prices
by buying in larger quantities, the es
tablishment of a warehouse would enable
use to handle shipments much faster than
we do at present, so that we could take
advantage of many discounts which we
cannot now claim.
“The only objection I have heard to
the plan Is that It gives too much power
to the purchasing agent’s office and that
gome dishonest official might hold the
position and take advantage of it. I
think, that the time when a public of
ficial can or will do a think like this
is past.’’
The centralized purchasing plan wrs
recommended in the report of the New
I York bureau of municipal research, made
to the Chamber of Commerce over two
years ago.
Mr. Ritter said a subcommittee of the
municipal research .committee of the
Chamber of Commerce is considering the
matter at present and Is expected to make
a report soon.

ABRAMS IN RACE
FOR SPEAKERSHIP
Marion County Solon Said to
Be Well Qualified.
It hecame known today that Marion
County is to have n candidate for
Speaker of the next House of Representa
tives which will be practically unham
pered by the presence of a minority.
Henry Abrams of Indianapolis, who
was re-elected representative by one of
the largest pluralities ever given a can
didate tn Marion County, is a candidate
for tbe speakership and is expected to
have the support of a large number of
the representatives with whom he worked
in tbe last session and in the special
sessions.
In the 1919 session Mr. Abram* was
one of the busiest member* of tite House.
He was ranking member of the commit
tee on the affairs of the city of In
dianapolis, and the commltteo on rights
and privileges, a member of the com
mittee on tho criminal code, the com
mittee on ongrossed bills, committee on
Insurance and Judiciary B. He was also
chairman of the committee congres
sional aportlonments.
Among the measures for which he
worked earnestly and to good purpose
wna the child labor bill, which passed
the house, the firemen's platoon bill and
tbe pork board bills, which were pnssed
In the final session of the special As
sembly, when so many measures failed
because of lack of a constitutional ma
jority.
Mr. Abrams' success in advancing
House bills aud his wide acquaintance
with the law and the constitution are
said to fit him particularly woli for the
Speaker's desk, which position ha* not
been allotted -to Marion County for to
many year*.
Other* who are said to aspire to the
Speaker’* chair arc J. Glenn Harris of
Luke County, Jacob D. Mlltenberger of
Mtmcie and Chester A, Davis of Fenn-
VillP.
* None oP the latter candidate* ts said
to have the support of Warren T. Mc-
Cray, Governor-elect.
